The purposes of this wiki are threefold:

* Document the computational software that we have developed for nanophotonics research.

* Document the computational software that we have developed for nanophotonics research.

* Give our group members an easy way to post information about their work.

* Give our group members an easy way to post information about their work.

* Provide a place for us to easily list upcoming meetings and events of interest.

In particular, any user of our software is encouraged to help in adding documentation, tips, tricks, and examples &mdash; just [[Special:Userlogin|register for a user name and log in]]. (Pages specific to our MIT researchers, on the other hand, will generally only be editable by us.)

For a list of meetings, seminars, and other upcoming events of interest to us at MIT (not necessarily open to the general public), please see:

We also have a list of [[Free nanophotonics software]] in addition to the programs developed at MIT.
